Virgin canvas awaiting their touches.

Painting, dance, sculpture, rhyme;
Artists speak in pantomime;
Their melancholy valentines.

Performing on a barren stage;
The audience their only wage;
Reaching out with velvet gloves;
Soliciting a strangers love.

Artist Speak

Contributed by softerware on Friday, 6th July 2018 @ 05:25:33 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



A thousand colors; a jar full of brushes.
Virgin canvas awaiting their touches.

Painting, dance, sculpture, rhyme;
Artists speak in pantomime;
Their melancholy valentines.

Performing on a barren stage;
The audience their only wage;
Reaching out with velvet gloves;
Soliciting a strangers love.

I agree,
there are a lot of talented
artist whom we never hear from
much at all, volumes of art
actually, much of the best art
has been lost,
kind of makes one feel tangled up in blue
the way things might never go, but still
you got to keep keeping on, somehow

Peace!

you put, or I do,
put phrases in backwards order, until it makes you think, it/'/s wrong the way you write, some other way
to tell a story, someone else/'/s, the way things
might go, when to use a rhyme without sounding
too obnoxious, who gives as damn, not
I, don/'/t care at all, never did.

Peace!

I think it is a backwards slide,
newness is everything, order means
you need to sound good, when someone
reads what you wrote, they would say
it wasn/'/t really good, worthy, genuine,
enough.

Peace!

if anything and everything could
be made in a different way,
maybe it would

be worth a try

the actor said the same phrase
a couple hundred times,
the same words over and over
again, and pretty soon,
those words became pretty much
iconic, but I never was,
impressed by the way the same words
were expressed in different ways

soliciting a strangers love
taking in, all that was said,
who wouldn/'/t think,
what/'/s that they got up
their sleeve
Must be art that struck their
thoughts they already had.

Peace!

there could be six point perspectives,
something seems solid from a different
point of view, well I am fond of Bob Dylan/'/s
"tangled up in Blue" or, pure Folk, ah, such as life.
So complicated, or is it contemplative ?
Such is art.

Peace!

I write in a blur and
make mistakes and
wonder if I had talent
would I just stop writing,

I probably would,
remember what that
might feel like,
but there/'/s so much
I don/'/t really know.

Peace!

No truer words have ever been spoken when it comes to artists.
I like the way you laid your poem out with the 2,3,4 line stanzas.
Our work connects us but I believe that its the love for what we do that connects us even more.
I put my poems here to see if other poets will enjoy my pieces as much
as I do writing them. You/'/ve created another gem my friend.
